The second major form of biological energy storage is electrochemical and takes the form of gradients of charged ions across cell membranes. This learning project allows participants to explore some of the details of energy storage molecules and biological energy storage that involves ion gradients across cell membranes.
The different types of energy storage can be grouped into five broad technology categories: Within these they can be broken down further in application scale to utility-scale or the bulk system, customer-sited and residential. In addition, with the electrification of transport, there is a further mobile application category. 1. Battery storage
Living organisms use two major types of energy storage. Energy-rich molecules such as glycogen and triglycerides store energy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Cells synthesize such molecules and store them for later release of the energy.
Another popular material precursor for prospective energy storage and conversion materials is wood, due to its anisotropic nature.

Polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen function primarily as energy storage molecules. Starch: Composed entirely of glucose monomers, starch is the main storage form of carbohydrates in plants. It exists in two forms: amylose, which is unbranched and helical, and amylopectin, which is branched and more complex.
